I'm x10
I'm Free!! Free!! Free!! (Hook) You can take my ways, shackle and chain me Back straight, standin' tall , child of God I'm (Free!) Spit in my face, hold me down I keep my feet firm to the ground cause I'm (Free!) (Verse 1) Ya A&R's the house nigga, the label is the plantation Now switch that advance for your emancipation You seeds in the field, like picked cotton for real I pop glocks like Beat street with an option to kill They take the strongest of slaves to compete in a track meet For the king of the city, sing songs of back streets Choruses of cocaine tales and black heat Only to trade niggas like professional athletes They'll take that merchandising Snatch that publishing Pack that black ass, ship you to London Buy a way to France, Germany, Dublin A real rogue from underground like Harriet Tubman While y'all stay struggling, we smuggle MCs through the streets They'll be bubblin' on mixed CDs, hustlin' Klan seen me on the block and said, "Freeze!" I said, "Fuck you! I'm a man, I'm Free!" (Hook) Ok... (Verse 2) I give birth to verses in churches with no confession So please pardon my postpartum depression A-list MCs can spit it in C-sections For immature minds to get it with each lesson Three Fifth's of a man ask nigga with no plans, "How you discussin' publishing figures without a ?Man.?" They got digital codes on the music for them to scan So even when you sample a snare you payin' the clan Now Google Pharoahe Monch, search "trescadecaphobia" (triskaidekaphobia") I'll explain while these 'City Banks' 'watch over ya/Wachovia' I peeped the future in my sleep To be honest man, we never had a 'Mutual' relationship with 'Washington' (Why?) Cause i believe they put the virus in the latex Condoms that they sell us, call it "Safe Sex" When i spit, they not only call it just a glitch in the Matrix But an errorless, terror threat that they aint even face yet (Hook) |

Unh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! (Hook) Said it's my desire!! Yes it is! yeeeaaah Yes it is, yes it is, oh yea.... Comprehend the guidelines My chest out, chinchilla'd or relaxed on the sidelines I'm so famous, understand New York City respect my game like Joe Nameth And I protect my name like yo' anus...in prison Y'all don't hear me Y'all don't listen Y'all just wanna shine Y'all just wanna glisten Floss, knowin' the soul is still missin' Who am I? I'm the poetical pastor Slave to a label but i own my master Still get it poppin' without artist and repertoire Cause Monch is a "Monarch", minus the A & R When my brain excels Your train derails Pop shit, make you feel the 'Clipse'/clips like Pharell You will feel me You will admire My struggle My hustle My soul Desire (Hook 2) (Hook) Said its myyyyy desire yeeaaaah My book's an ovary, the pages i lust to turn My pen is the penis, when i write the ink's the sperm Desire - the fire that ignites the torch that burns This is not rocket science, this is easy to turn My mic's a gavel, when i talk court's ajurned Respect, even if you was 'ashes' you couldn't 'urn' I embody antibiotics, you are infected with germs Rap's fatally ill, please get concerned Players pick turns to play, get burned I telecommentate the game like Chick Hearn This is the moment of truth for my opponent's ?alliance? Vocals alone evoke the emotion of black choirs Fire, you don't wanna get burned like Richard Pryor Move back, who's that there, the livewire You will feel me You will admire My struggle My hustle My soul Desire (Hook 2) (Bridge) Thats my desire Keep pushin' Keep strivin' My passion My fire {(Bridge), (Hook)} x3 |

Pushin', pushin', pushin', pushin'
I live my life One day at a time Hold my head So I don't lose my mind Sometimes you might fall down But you get back up Get on your journey Yeah, keep on pushin' Pushin', pushin', pushin' I walked downstairs And my body's light Done pushed my struggles Endured my pride I fear no man I know wrong from right We push until the day we see the light And we keep on pushin' Pushin', pushin', pushin' Your weak-ass compubot power shots mix fly over me My accurate jabs connect like rotary Make you notice me, be like: "Damn, dudes on some totally when he rides the bass line like Ginobili" I'm vocally unmatched, nobly With the flow, slow on the ground But mo' public than notary Push, in this era of G.W. Bush We must load mental ammunition and bust Thus, I'm a hold you down, I got you One more repetition I'm a spot you This is for my blue collar workin', beer guzzlin' Bootleg, DVD sellin', keep hustling Push, if you represent the struggle then push Peep the pieces of the puzzle and push Never let 'em place a muzzle just push Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on (Push, push, push, push) |

[Intro]
In a time when we're spending billions of dollars in a war to control oil in Iraq 3,000 soldiers have come home in coffins Hundreds of thousands of Iraq civilians have lost their lives Our brothers and sisters in New Orleans are left homeless and hungry They murdered Sean Bell They murdered Amadou Diallo They murdered Timothy Stansbury And it's time to say NO MORE! NO MORE!, NO MORE!, NO MORE!, NO MORE! [Verse 1] I got so much trouble on my mind, refuse to lose Here's your ticket (uh), hear the drummer get wicked The crew to you to push the back to Black Attack so I sat and japped, then slapped the Mac Now I'm ready to mike it (huh) Hear my favoritism roll "Oh" Never be a brother like to go solo Lazer, Anastasia, maze ya Ways to blaze your brain and train ya The way I'm livin, forgiven, what I'm givin up X on the flex (hear me now) I don't know about later As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid Man I've had it up to here Gear I wear got 'em goin in fear Rhetoric said, it read just a bit ago Not quittin, it signed the hard rhymer Work to keep from gettin jerked Changin some ways, to way back in the better days Raw metaphysically bold, never follow the code Still dropped a load Never question what I am, God knows Cause it's comin from the heart What I got better get some (um hum) Hustler of culture Snakebitten, been spit in the face But the rhymes keep fittin Respects been givin, how's ya livin? Now I can't protect a pad off the defect Check the record of reckon An intentional wreck Played off as some intellect Made the call, took the fall, broke the laws Not my fault that they're fallin off Known as fair square, throughout my years So I growl at the livin foul Black to the bone my home is your home So welcome to the Terrordome [Break] Come on down (get down) You can get it, get it, get it, get it Come on down ... You can get it, get it, get it, get it Get down You can get it, get it, get it, get it [Verse 2] There's a hole in an apple, an apple has been rotten Scheme like a clan, I plan like Bin Laden Supreme, screen writer, slit, script editor Drop the LP, many hit like Nesbula 7 years later, it's the year of the Gods United States government is just the facade The Catholic church got ties with the Mob I see it all like "The Wizard of Oz" Now there's a yellowbrick road, the fame which is yours If you only had a brain, you would know who you are Poison your ventilation, cut your education Secret information, world domination Take over reservations Trigger the energies in the oceans for tsunmais to control the population Eyes of the sky, hit an observation If your over 65 we'll take over your medication Like give me that (give me that), form a line (form a line) Go to war (go to war), press rewind Cause when I get mad, I put it down on the pad Give you somethin that you never had Controllin, fear of high rollin God bless your soul and keep livin Black to the bone, my home is your home Well welcome to the Terrordome [Break] Come on down (get down) Get it, get it, get it, get it ... Come on down Get it, get it, get it, get it ... Get it, get it, get it, get it ... |

As we move forward towards the new millennium
We will no longer communicate with vocal inflections It will be necessary to communicate through telekinesis We will open your mind and concentrate harder Focus, focus, focus, focus Hey brother, what it is [Verse 1:] Raps like Star Wars Only the stars die, it's no sequels B-3 cases, C3P0's Before Morpheus and Neo was killing 'em We was duckin' roulettes in the hood like Remo Williams Understand an underground bomb-cipritate Get serious or die laughing like John Ritter Young Eastwood, just tryin' to eat good Breathe easy, relax Mac like Fleetwood Keep snoring Keep sleeping, I'll keep touring Come back, lay in the cut like Neosporin Came out of the fallopian blastin' Pharoahe hungrier than Ethiopians fastin' Flies all in my teeth, stomach stickin' out Niggas want dibs on the weed but ain't kickin' out See this is not American Idol This is me tryin' to eat, human survival Spit at your favorite rapper, take his title Stick needles in his eyeballs 'til his signs are no longer vital This ain't that I'm not them These ain't those rhymes, I'm not him This is more like cocaine all night Shine like the new five halogen fog-lights No More like sunshine One line in your mind to remind you of when you were nine Before you were bustin' cherries it wasn't necessary to grind them Now we all on our grizzly And you got the nerve to press Frisbees What it is "What it is" [Verse 2:] If I'm not home on the range Catch me at the range, practicing my aim Gat you in your brain, shame They thought I was backpacks Slept, didn't know that he kept inside the knapsack Today's niggas do skate-by-hits Run in your crib on some Queer Eye for the Straight Guy shit But not homosexuals they master in gunplay Rearrange your furniture, fix your feng shui They be swearin' it's cute But a B up in the glovebox, cutter in the boot With the sex appeal, and no ice either To fight the bear arms, I'm not talkin' wifebeaters either When they see me they say "That's that nigga" My last name should be "That's that nigga" Sounds kinda nice, "Pharoahe that's that..." Never catch me with them plastic cat fast niggas With the flow that's so influential Niggas fucked up they get no instrumentals now Next time you spittin' on mine Bet your bottom dollar you be spittin' over rhymes What it is "What it is" |

(feat. Denaun Porter)
[Chorus:] First the gun draws and you know, that something's happening Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly Be prepared because, war is coming You can't be scared now, when the streets is calling you [Verse 1:] Good evening, My name's Mr. Bullet I respond to the index when you pull it, the trigger So make a note, take a vote Quick man, nickname's Quaker Oates 'cause Whether domestic violence or coke deals See how less has changed brain matter to oatmeal And when I kill kids they say shame on me Who the fuck told you to put they names on me? White man made me venom to eliminate Especially when I'm in the hood, I never discriminate Just get in 'em, then I renovate Flesh, bone, ain't nothing for me to penetrate And it can happen so swiftly One false move might just shift me If I'm in-lodged and your soul's not claimed I'll remind that ass when it's about to rain like [Chorus] [Verse 2:] Would the new method of murder be arson or firebombs? If the cost of a single bullet was more than the firearm Strange that is, when all exits are final Point blank range that is My attitude is cold and callous Killed Kings in Tennessee Presidents in Dallas And if the past be known, at last we know What happened that afternoon on the Grassy Knoll It's what made a widow of Jackie O. The government hired Lee Harvey to blast me though Fatality shot entered from the right temple Was not fired from a six-story window Can it be that it was all so simple, But yet remains so painful to rekindle I come through your city I'm hot Whether you're jiggy or not Whether your Biggie or 'Pac "When the Gun Draws" [Chorus] |

I now pronounce you husband and wife
You may kiss the bride Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry Wishin' I could change but this is just my life Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry Wishin' I could change but this is just my life God, why is my wife bleedin?? Sheet covers her face, paramedics are leavin? Her eyes are closed, it's apparent she's not breathin? I'm a little confused about what it is I'm seein? Plus, there's a naked man on my lawn Police in the livin? room with all of they guns drawn Out and the last thing I remember is Uh, last thing I remember is I received a text page from Julio Who expressed that I left my cell phone in the studio Right underneath the disc with the Pro Tools Next to a six pack of O'Douls and some soul food Yeah, and I was on my way home Exit the expressway to use the payphone But fuck it, 'cause my wife isn't back from her trip I sneak [Incomprehensible] into the house And she'll never expect it, except that Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry Wishin' I could change but this is just my life Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry Wishin' I could change but this is just my life He put the gun in my hand Told me go take my revenge Killin? him won't make it go away It's only gon? bring more pain I tied his hands behind his back to the night stand, fast Ropes made bruises on his light skinned ass See, I can play games too Yeah, that's what I told him when he came to Now look, see what the game and the fame do? Made a deranged mind out of someone in your same crew Fuck man, we grew up together Run DMC, tougher than leather With the same outfits, forty deuce Takin' flicks like what, shit Why did you fuck my wife, man? You should?ve took my life, man I switched the gun into my right hand The sweat accumulated on his forehead, I saw red, he said Now was it worth it, man? Was it everythin? you imagined? Was it perfect? He put the gun in my hand Told me go take my revenge Killin? him won't make it go away It's only gon' bring more pain He put the gun in my hand and told Told me to go take my revenge Killin? him won't make it go away, no It's only gon' bring more pain Took you to be my lawfully wedded wife To have, to hold, to love and cherish but Death did us apart, what a coincidence Now, perhaps the police will be convinced That it was an accident If I'm accurate and careful with the evidence This motherfucker trespassin? up my residence And to believe those vile set a precedence From the start I should have been obvious, I never did Prevalent, the wicked debauchery and decadence Was carried out with such masterful excellence And this is the stick where you rip my heart It was natural to transform murder into art And the weight of my conscience would knowingly carry 365 days to the date that we was married Thoughts of how would achieve the murder would vary We're closer than ever, together we'll be buried 'cause Evil eyes that bide, how they go You [Incomprehensible] lied to me, what did they see? I just lost control, had to let you go I cry but slowly you try, so slowly you die Buried alive in the grave, too exhausted to climb out Before dirt was tossed on me, come to find out Old friend of mine she sleepin? with committed the crime In the past three years, switched identities six times And all the while I'm devoted to love and loyalty They plotted on my publishin? checks and royalties She's thinkin? it?s true love, he's scammin? her for the quop [Incomprehensible] to devise my own intuitive plot Put the pros on him, launched the probe on him Now harm him, pen him, get him exactly where I wanted him Cornered him, now his mission is aborted You are about to be professionally extorted Guess who you're 'bout to murder tonight? Miss pretty brown eyes while she sleeps under the moonlight Do it and bounce, the keys to the crib, you'll find under the mat In the front of the house, just do it, word out Evil eyes that bide, how they go You [Incomprehensible] lied to me, what did they see? I just lost control, had to let you go I cry but slowly you try, so slowly you die |
